Time Capsule to be open in 100 years

Hi All
I've finally have enough points to have a contest.  I tried to come up with a unique idea and I hope I get lots of entries because I just love to read poetry and the people on AP are some of the very best poets


I want poems about what you would place in a time capsule which will be opened in the year 2103.  What would you want people at that time to see and what is your purpose for placing it in the time capsule.

Rule's (not many)

(1) Any type of poetry

(2) Rhyming or not (your choice)

(3) Can be serious or humorous

(4) Length doesn't matter as long as the poem states the item and the value of or reason for the item.

(5) Item can be anything even though it has no substance such as faith, love, pride (well  I hope you know what I mean when I say it has no substance). It can also be your favorite car or music or just about anything you can think of.

(6) Pre-writes ok

Well that's all for rules and I hope you all have some fun leaving your mark in the year 2103.

*First place receives  400 points*
*Second place receives 200 points*
*Third place receives 100 points*

*Hope you have fun*
*Bertie*

    I want to thank everyone who entered this contest as you all are great poets. But since I only have three trophies I had to choose (which was very hard to do) First place goes to Samplette for her poem "Explanation Capsule". Second place goes to Wordpainter "If You Find My Mind" and Third place goes to leannewales for "That..says it all. Once again thanks to all who entered for making my first contest so much fun. You all deserve prizes.

    Now, this is a great contest idea! Hope you get swamped with many entries! But then you will have alot to keep you busy trying to determine the winners. Good luck to everyone in the contest and to the judge of course.

    Keep the pen in hand and the ink to paper...
